I suggest avoiding the temptation to judge the motives and choices of other people when they don't affect you. I did the same for a good chunk of time. I was an excellent Internet commenter, and had it all figured out. Then I got older, and sometimes found myself understanding why those choices were made, and occasionally even making those same choices I'd despised.

Doing so was a deeply bitter pill to swallow, both in terms of the choices available and the sunk cost of previous opinions.

Working on yourself is a lifetime of effort. I suggest you focus more on that and less on casting aspersions on large groups of people for whom you know little about.
